Dalmorton is a locality in the Northern Rivers region of New South Wales, Australia.

[2] Dalmorton lies on both sides of the Boyd River and the Old Glen Innes Road.

[4] The area now known as Dalmorton lies on the traditional lands of Baanbay people,[5] a group of Gumbainggir.

[18][19] By 1877, Dalmorton had only one street, one hotel (Rudd's), three stores, and many empty houses, without a church or school.

[25][26] In 1918, Dalmorton was described as "a few scattered dwellings, occupied for the most part by tenacious fossickers, who will not give up the search for, the elusive streak".

[7] Without gold mining and with limited agricultural potential, the village came to depend for a time on timber milling.

[32] The building that housed the village's combined general store and post office was destroyed by fire, on 4 January 1950, after which a small telephone exchange was temporarily reinstated at a nearby dairy.

[33][34] The store and post office were in business again, in November 1953, when a 78-year old prospector died at Dalmorton, while still seeking gold.

A newer road from Grafton to Glen Innes became the main highway, and, as it bypassed Dalmorton, the police station was no longer needed.
